"Eight stage hidden strength?" This... Is it still the Seven Layered Waves Force? "
The soft sound from Ye Hao's body caused the Martial Hall disciple, who had a playful expression, to instantly open his eyes wide as he exclaimed out loud with a shocked expression.
Some of them had trained in the body tempering technique, 'Wave Bending Seven Stomp'. They knew that once it was mastered, it would have seven stacking powers. Although its power was not bad, it was still not a Spiritual Energy and Divine Ability, and was unable to cause too much damage to a Body Tempering Level 7 cultivator.
And right now, the body tempering technique Ye Hao displayed actually produced eight layers of hidden strength. This completely overturned everyone's knowledge. It was truly too unimaginable.
However, before the shock in their hearts could recede, the ninth roar that came from Ye Hao's body was like a clap of thunder that made them all feel dizzy.
Bang!
Ye Hao's eyelids slightly lifted as he looked at Ye Xiao, whose face was pale and body was trembling uncontrollably. He grinned and said, "I will accept your Grade 2 Elixir."
As soon as he said that, the ninth hidden force in his body burst out like a mountain and overturned the seas. Immediately, Ye Xiao, whose body was trembling, spat out a mouthful of blood. As if he was struck by an unimaginable force, he flew out and landed heavily at the end of the open space.
Hiss!
The unexpected scene in front of them made everyone suck in a cold breath of air. They looked in disbelief at Ye Xiao, who was struggling in the distance and was unable to get up even after a long time.
"This... "How could that be?"
After a long while, the crowd finally looked at the black-clothed youth that was collecting Ye Xiao's Grade 2 Elixir into the Storage Bag. His face was filled with unprecedented shock.
He had truly made a mistake.
With the strength of his Sixth Layer of Body Tempering, he had activated the ability of his vital energy and blood, actually causing Ye Xiao, who was at the peak of the seventh level of Body Tempering, to be severely injured. It was just too astonishing.
"You … Give it back to me! " In the distance, Ye Xiao, whose mouth was covered in blood, couldn't help but scream as he saw the jade box being taken away.
"What is it? You can't afford to lose? "
Ye Hao glanced at him. There wasn't much sympathy in his eyes. If the one who lost this time was him, he didn't think the other party would be that kind.
Moreover, when the ninth wave of hidden strength burst forth, he had already shown mercy and restrained quite a bit of his strength. If not for this, Ye Xiao's injuries would have been even more severe.
One must know that he had even killed a cultivator at the seventh level of the Body Tempering stage with the help of the ninth level of the Body Tempering ability.
"Since you are a high and mighty Martial Hall disciple, you won't go back on your word, right?" Watching Ye Xiao gritting his teeth, Ye Hao said with a smile.
"You …" Seeing Ye Hao put away the Storage Bag and still smile as if it was time to beat him up, Ye Xiao got angry and finally fainted.
"Alright, since you've caused enough trouble, come on in." At this moment, in a grand pavilion at the end of the open space, the Second Elder's authoritative voice suddenly rang out.
Hearing the voice, Ye Hao's brows twitched slightly. It seemed that the Second Elder had let him do as he pleased just now. Was it to see his strength?
With this thought in mind, Ye Hao led Ye Ze and ignored the others' attention as they walked towards the loft at the end of the open space.
"..."
The building was tall and black in color. It looked grand and solemn. The light inside was dim. The moment Ye Hao stepped inside, he felt a sense of coldness coming from the building.
What entered his eyes was an empty hall. On the praying mat on the front of the hall, a skinny old man with sparse white hair sat quietly.
At this moment, when he saw Ye Hao and Ye Ze's arrival, a strange expression appeared on his shrivelled face as he said, "Little guy, you are quite surprising."
"Greetings, Second Elder." After the two of them bowed respectfully, Ye Hao smiled and said, "Second Elder's display of might is not too friendly."
The old man shook his head and laughed, "I'm not going to play around with you, kid. Moreover, you're taking advantage of me, a second rank elixir is not something that anyone can take out, even if it's in the Martial Hall."
Ye Hao grinned and immediately became alert: "Second Elder, you won't take this elixir back right?"
The old man said in a hoarse voice: "This is between you and Ye Xiao, this old man will not interfere, moreover, with Martial Hall disciples being so arrogant, I think it's time to kill them."
Only then did Ye Hao let out a light breath. If he was told to spit out the Grade 2 Elixir that he had just obtained, it would be better to just let out his blood.
"Alright, let's get back to the topic. Since you two have passed the examination this time, then from today onwards, you two can be considered disciples of Martial Hall. You need to cultivate even more diligently and not ruin the prestige of my Martial Hall." The second elder restrained his expression and said with a slightly sunken voice.
Ye Hao and Ye Ze nodded seriously.
"Also, since the two of you have passed the exam, it means that no matter if it's talent or temperament, there will always be a growth in talent. For the disciples, the clan will naturally nurture them greatly." The Second Elder paused for a moment before continuing, "All Martial Hall disciples are allowed to receive thirty Body Refinement Pellets per month, and … "A Tier 1 spiritual herb every half a year."
When the old man finished speaking, Ye Ze's mouth was wide open in shock. Even Ye Hao could not help but take a light breath.
It had to be known that, currently, an ordinary clan member only had a share of three Body Refinement Pellets per month. Ye Hao had saved up for four whole years, but it was still only close to two hundred pellets.
Most importantly, it was the rank 1 spiritual medicine that he grew for half a year. The effect of the spiritual medicine had unimaginable benefits for a cultivator's body tempering. It was extremely rare and precious, so normal people could not obtain it.
However, the Martial Hall disciples, were actually able to obtain one every half year. Even though Ye Hao had some imagination about the treatment of Martial Hall, at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh about how wealthy he was.
The Second Elder seemed to be used to this expression. His expression did not change at all. With a wave of his sleeve, two small wooden boxes immediately fell into their hands.
"Inside are your monthly Body Tempering Pills and a Grade 1 Elixir. Keep it."
Ye Hao opened the wooden box. Aside from the porcelain bottle containing the Body Refinement Pellet, there was also a Scarlet Blood Fruit that emitted a medicinal fragrance. It was exactly the same as the one Ye Yunfeng gave him that day.
"What a generous hand." Ye Hao was speechless. He immediately put the wooden box back into the Storage Bag and looked at the old man with a burning gaze.
Sensing his gaze, the Second Elder smirked as he scolded, "You crafty little fox, are you really that impatient?"
Ye Hao laughed mischievously and said: "Second Elder, for a Divine Ability and Secret Arts of the Martial Hall, this brat has been yearning for it for a long time."
Every newly advanced Martial Hall disciple could choose a Divine Ability and Secret Arts within their Martial Hall. Not only were there a large number of body tempering abilities, even the incomparably precious movement abilities and Spiritual Energy and Divine Ability could be selected.
As for Ye Hao, who had seen how strong Spiritual Energy and Divine Ability were before, at this moment, he had been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Follow me."
Seeing the young man's fervent expression, the Second Elder did not continue to keep them in suspense. He stood up and led them up to the second floor.
